Police said a 16-year-old girl told them that she met Aponte, who was using an alias, on Facebook. She told officers she thought he was a 19 year old.

Thomasville police were called on Jan. 22 by High Point police who said the victim was at High Point Regional Hospital and she told officers she had been sexually assaulted at Aponte's Thomasville residence.

Thomasville police were able to find out Aponte's true identity, and he was placed in the Davidson County Jail on Jan. 22. Aponte's court date is set for Feb. 29 in Thomasville. He is being held on a $100,000 bond.
